The Umpqua Fly Saltwater Popper is designed for visual, aggressive surface fishing in saltwater. Its buoyant popper head pushes water and creates a distinct "bloop" that draws in curious and territorial predators from a distance. This pattern is well suited for sea bass, bluefish, smaller tropical species and any fish that responds to noise and surface commotion.
Tied on a durable, corrosion‑resistant 2/0 saltwater hook, it handles hard takes and powerful runs reliably. The combination of shimmering body materials and a mobile tail gives extra movement during pauses, often triggering strikes when the fly is standing still. Fish it with short, sharp strips for maximum surface disturbance, or slow it down in calm conditions and over shallow structure.
Available in Blue/white, Chartreuse and Red/white, you can match local baitfish or use high‑visibility colours for dirty water and low light. A practical choice for anglers who want to cover reef edges, current lines, harbour areas and sandbars with a proven topwater pattern.
